Abstract

Over the last few years, there has been considerable interest¹-⁴ in using multiple aperture receiver arrays in laser radar systems where low cost lightweight sensor systems of low power consumption and high angular resolution for tracking and imaging are required. As has been previously demonstrated²-⁴, the problem of determining the target phase from the measured phase which is corrupted by positional and reference wavefront errors can be overcome in an adaptive way prior to using the array for imaging.
